I can see why you would want to give up Do you mean to say, "I can see why I would want to give up , were I in your shoes?" Cause I'm playing hours a day, and posting tons of things, and exchanging emails, and making a million different exercises and videos to show people what I have learned in my years-long quest here. I am taking on even more challenges than I did when I just played guitar eight hours a day. And I wouldn't have it any other way. quote:
Your compositions bear no resemblance to Flamenco. Damn right, cause they are original pieces of music. And they are the result of all these damn painful and beautiful and profound years of my life. That being said, "Space nor Time" clearly rips off a bunch of common flamenco tricks. What I am searching for is something deep within myself, the same thing I have been searching for ever since I touched a guitar when I was 15. And flamenco is definitely a stage on that journey, but it is most certainly not the end.

ORIGINAL: guitarristamadrid And flamenco is definitely a stage on that journey, but it is most certainly not the end. well, thats ok, but then your goal is not to be better than paco, but be better than yourself. i mean for most of us, flamenco is not just a stage. flamenco is the journey AND the end at the same time. its everything. meaning that our goal is to try to explore flamenco in all its facets, learn it, master it, improvise with it, etc. but don't leave it. thats what paco and all the others you mentioned do. if you want to be better than them, then you must play the same game and not invent a new game. if you just learn some techniques and use them somewhere else (outside the structure, which is compas and all that stuff), then thats not flamenco anymore. its OK but not flamenco. that said, i would even be interested and accept to see someone inventing a new palo with interesting rythm structures, or something like that as a revolutionary act.
